We watch TV so you don't have to. But you should. You really should.

Dan Scott got to be an action hero on tonight’s episode of “One Tree Hill.” But as Chris Keller kept telling us over and over, the hero always dies. And after a rescue mission to retrieve Nathan that would have made Bruce Willis proud, Dan Scott ended up shot in the chest, lying in a pool of blood at his son’s feet.… Read More »

Chad Michael Murray returned to the locally filmed drama series “One Tree Hill” this week. And while many fans have been dying to see Murray back in Tree Hill ever since his exit at the end of season six, somehow his scenes managed to be the least compelling storyline of the episode. It’s nothing against Murray.

The ninth and final season of “One Tree Hill” is shaping up to be one of the show’s best, thanks to darker, season-long story arcs and the added angst that came along with the return of diabolical dad Dan Scott and a certain cocky crooner who loves to refer to himself in the third person.… Read More »

Each character on “One Tree Hill” has changed over the show’s nine seasons. They’ve grown older, wiser and more successful. But at the start of season nine, one character was also noticeably thicker. Marvin “Mouth” McFadden started this season about 60 pounds heavier than he ended season eight, thanks to a sudden zeal for food that’s driving a wedge between him and his girlfriend, Millie.

“I never envisioned that’s where my story was going,” says Lee Norris, who has played Mouth since the show’s pilot episode and now performs his scenes buried under prothstetic makeup.

I recently chatted with Norris at a CW event in Pasadena about the locally filmed show’s legacy, his North Carolina roots and what his future might hold.… Read More »

Brooke asks that of Julian at the start of tonight’s episode while they are sitting in a hospital waiting room, as she struggles to wrap her head around how Julian could leave Davis unattended in a car. We quickly learn that Davis likely OK, but Brooke isn’t the only one reeling from last week’s big reveals.… Read More »

After last week’s intense final season premiere, the locally filmed drama series “One Tree Hill” has set a darker tone that should make for one of the most (melo)dramatic seasons yet. That’s good news, assuming it maintains last week’s pacing and point of view.

In a rare show of acknowledgment that the show is still on its network, The CW feted the cast of “One Tree Hill” Thursday night at the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Pasadena.… Read More »

At the Television Critics Association winter press tour today, CW president Mark Pedowitz told me that “One Tree Hill” should air all 13 episodes of its final season with no breaks. So doing a little math after last night’s debut, that puts the finale on Wednesday, April 4.… Read More »

The ninth and final season of locally filmed drama series One Tree Hill started strong for the CW Wednesday night. It posted the best numbers in that timeslot for the CW since spring, though Wednesday is admittedly one of the network’s weakest nights. The premiere episode delivered a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating, a 1.2 adults 18-34 rating and a 1.8 women 18-34 rating, a demo that The CW covets. In all, 1.75 million viewers watched the premiere at 8 p.m..… Read More »

“One Tree Hill” kicks off its ninth season premiere tonight with a bang (or at least a few guns) and the welcome return of Chris Keller and Dan Scott. I’m in Pasadena for the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour, so I won’t be blogging about the premiere tonight. (With any luck I’ll be chatting with the show’s producers instead.) But I did see the episode last week at a screening in Hollywood, and I’ll tell you it’s easily the… Read More »

Locally filmed drama series “One Tree Hill” returns for its ninth and final season Wednesday.

If you’ve never seen the show, it can be hard to jump in to the story after eight seasons of love, death, betrayal, and basketball. So we asked the show’s loyal legion of fans to help us choose a list of “essential” episodes that could help newbies catch up on the show and serve as a highlight reel of all the series embodies.

Thousands of online votes later, the episodes below rose to the top. As expected, there are plenty of season finales (when big, important moments tend to happen), but there’s also a good mix of humor, romance and over-the-top drama – all of the things that kept “One Tree Hill” fans coming back for 174 episodes and looking forward to 13 more.… Read More »

Cast and crew members of the locally filmed drama series “One Tree Hill” gathered with about 200 fans of the series to watch a special screening of the ninth (and final) season premiere Thursday, Jan. 5, at the ArcLight movie theater in Hollywood. After the screening, the stars stuck around for a Q&A moderated by TVLine.com’s Meg Masters and to take questions from the audience.
